Mesa Nueva Grad Garden compost accepts leftover fruit and veggie kitchen scraps, (it doesn’t matter if they are moldy), yard trimmings that haven’t been chemically treated, nutshells/eggshells, tea bags (no staples), coffee grinds and paper filters, and houseplant trimmings.
Please NO animal feces, cat litter, meats, fish, fats, oil or butter coated items, bones, or diseased or insect-ridden plants. Additionally, our compost cannot accept “compostable plastic bags” at this time. For a more complete list check out the list available here: https://sustain.ucsd.edu/involve/gardens.html
Additionally, grad housing garden compost is a labor of love run entirely by volunteers! If you would like to join us, please visit: https://forms.gle/uDqbTgDLyjdJApMU8
